<![CDATA[Criminal acts of severe abuse resulting in death may also involve children as perpetrators. In criminal law, children have a special status because they are still in the stage of physical and psychological development, so the juvenile criminal justice system emphasizes educational and rehabilitative punishments. Decision Number 3/Pid.Sus-Anak/2024/PN Mlg shows the application of criminal sanctions against a child who severely abused his classmate, causing death due to bleeding in the dura mater.
